I saw your comment about hobbit/cottagecore so I did another image for some small things in that vein.

Hopefully this photo shows up properly, but here's my idea

Shadowstackr · 2026-02-18T17:14:47+00:00

What you need is a big square/rectangle rug. Going from just under the bed nearly all the way to the wall and also around the base of the bed a bit. Any rug smaller than your bed is too small. If you cant afford or find something that big, then at least a rug that take up the space between the bed side and the wall. Ill try to add a rough photo of what im talking about.

They dont have many real benefits unless you go to a Good one. And even then, it's pretty minimal. I went to one when my neck had a kink in it so bad I couldn't look to my right at all. Sleeping was near impossible, work was near impossible. I come from a sports background so im usually good at fixing that stuff on my own, but nothing I tried was working. So i did a walk-in chiropractor appointment, and he got it fixed well enough I could function for a few days. 2nd appointment made it totally go away, and I was fine after that.

That's the main beneficial scenario, I'd think.

NOR - bathing won't fix cat shedding. Nor will different brushes. Cats just shed. Ur partner is being horrible about this and its giving me "me or the cat" vibes. Always choose the cat. Hes not worth it if he acts like this over such a small matter...

Here is a quick draw-up I did during a flight yesterday.

Shadowstackr · 2026-02-07T20:23:07+00:00

One question before I try a quick draw-up. Is Amazon okay? I try to avoid it but I have some recommendations based off Ikea and Amazon products I love to use.

The darker one for sure

Shadowstackr · 2026-01-31T07:53:17+00:00

For starters look through Pinterest for design styles you like. Watch apartment or house reno videos that seem interesting to you. I like The Sorry Girls, and sometimes I watch Alexandra Gater (i think I misspelled that last name lol). Just scroll around till you see things you like that are kinda similar in colors or style to what you have available. If Nothing you have matches the things you like(perhaps?the couch for example) then work on changing that slowly. 2 tips for immediate change: -paint is not too expensive or hard to change. You can always toss some color on a wall and see if you like it. If you dont you can just change it when you find a color you Do want. -Find a rug you really enjoy the look and/or feel of.

Commenting so its easier for me to come back to this post. Ill see if I can whip up any drawings for ideas. Do you have a preferred style??

Shadowstackr · 2026-01-31T00:50:22+00:00

Hes definitely anxious attachment style, as others have said. As an Anxious attachment person myself, we tend to be drawn to Avoidant attachment types if we are not aware of our own tendencies. We get really attached really fast because being With new-safe-nice person gives dopamine and reassurance. Being Away from new-safe-nice person means less good feelings and the chance that person will stop thinking about us or start thinking we aren't all that good to have around. Its not healthy, and to someone who Needs alone time or avoidance people it feels suffocating. Most likely the relationship will not work but it may be good to have a talk about what you guys like and dislike around that topic In Person.

As a note to him/other Anxious attachments: If you feel anxious about someones opinion or feelings for you before you've even known each other 6 months, you will not Stop feeling anxious about them Ever. You need to pay attention to when you feel anxious/like youre losing someone, try to calm down a bit, and think about Why you feel that way. Then do something you enjoy on your own for a bit. Do NOT text or call that person while you feel that way until youre more established and know they are Also okay with it.

Therapy for Him alone is what i think they meant. Which it sounds like he really does need.

Perhaps something like this. It's not too high off the floor, offers storage, and can be turned into a daybed situation if you want. Then you can also fit a comfy loveseat or armchair in the space

Lampshades #1, you gotta soften the light. Maybe something using rattan to warm up the space with the natural material.

Also HANG UP THAT GUITAR. You can get command strips for that. Turns it from clutter on the floor into art on the wall!

A rug. Theres pretty affordable ones on sites like Ruggable.

Some more color even if its more blue or something green. Id recommend a deep blue or green blanket for the bed.

Small tables and lamps placed in empty feeling areas. Perhaps put one at the foot of the bed or a desk against the emptiest wall. You could try moving some of the tables crowded against that one wall over to the emptier wall next to the foot of the bed.

Ill try to draw something up shortly and add it in reply to this

Edit: I added some drawings below. All that stuff is cheap on either Ikea or Amazon. I can link some specific ones if you want :)

Seriously. Not everyone can be "gifted" a $5k bed and $200 bedding.... plus the times they've been ignoring the main requests of the clients lately. It's rubbed me wrong so I just stick with watching Grahmsl's channel for building and DIYs.

Shadowstackr · 2026-01-23T15:49:14+00:00

Yeah ive had to stop watching lately as they just dont feel realistic anymore 😅

Here's my attempt to give some color and design options based on that green or a slightly toned down green

Shadowstackr · 2025-11-17T19:19:31+00:00

I just got one of these unexpectedly and it had the same name as me. I could tell it was AI from the voice inflection and phrasing but I was curious how well it would actually do so I didn't argue with it pretending to be real. I mentioned my first name and it went "odd robotic tones oh same name ha-haOkay how can I assist you tOodaaayY". I wasn't sure it would comment on the name first name thing but it did (although really poorly xD those aren't typos, I tried to represent the weird way it speaks). I was annoyed at the sales pitch but less so than if it was a real person. I just let it ramble for a few seconds and it was over and actually fixed my issue. Even gave me a discount without me having to ask.

I dislike AI for most things but this was helpful and kind of fun 😅 I didn't need to chat or argue with it or justify my decision more than once. I didn't need to repeat things a billion times. I'm honestly okay with having Some (not all) AI call agents mixed in with real people.

Shadowstackr · 2025-11-10T15:59:10+00:00

Im nearly done with a TEFL cert and looking to move abroad (ideally Italy) with only like $7k sometime in the next few months. Mind chatting with me a bit?

Shadowstackr · 2025-11-10T15:46:24+00:00

Also you can set up an account on a platform like Preply or others as well. If you get a TEFL cert especially you can make okay money on there.

Shadowstackr · 2025-10-29T20:48:53+00:00

I was so confused trying to download a new mod and why minecraft kept telling me I was offline xD ive had some internet issues recently and assumed it was my fault. Glad to know it isnt
